AGeneva is French speaking (situated just at the border to France) but a lot of people also speak English and some can speak a little German.Geneva is a beautiful city but unfortunately living there is very expensive.some impressions of Genevahttp://www.ville-ge.ch/index_e.htm

A-Price for a cup of coffee depends on the location you buy (take away, restaurants): between US$ 3.65 and 4.80- Meal in Restaurants: average prices: between US$ 25 and 48 (keep in mind, that food in Restaurants is almost everywhere made from scratch)- You eat cheaper if you choose, for example MIGROS - a large chain food store with restaurants (buffet style food - very fresh) and take out.- Cheaper than restaurants are Tea Rooms with small menus that can be as low as US$ 6 - 10- Bakery's offer a great variety of sandwiches, cakes, sometimes take out salads etc.- Food prices in stores: if I compare them to Canada (where I live at the moment): meat and cold cuts very expensive, cheese/dairy products cheaper, fruit and vegetables about the same.Most food stores sell take out that is good and much less expensive than restaurants.- Alcohol is much less expensive than in Canada, and even the cheapest wine is better than here.- Soft-drinks, tea and coffee are on the expensive side.On the positive side: you can buy very small quantities of everything and prepare your food yourself.Hope that helps.

AIt depends on the nature of the business.If it's banking or finance related, or it involves the solicitation or signing of large deals with high level management, I'd wear a full suit and tie. If it's a first meeting, wear a suit and tie to be safe.For ongoing business, a more casual mode of dress can usually be adopted (slacks, shoes with socks (no loafers, please), a button down shirt and a blazer), bring a tie and wear it or lose it if the rest of the group is less formal.I've worked my way up and down the clothing food chain, depending on the nature of what's going on. When I'm on the factory floor, I'll take it all the way down to jeans and a casual shirt. Avoid t-shirts, running shoes, torn clothing, etc.

ADepends what you consider a 'party nightlife' but coming from Northern Uk I would say nowhere within 2 hours of Geneva has a proper party nightlife.Best bet is probably Lausanne that is about 45mins from Geneva and has a few half decent clubs. (try MAD)Alternatively Zurich is better but that will take you 3 hours. If you are going in winter the ski resorts of Verbier and Chamonix have lively albeit expensive nightlife (both about 1.5 hrs away)Generally wouldn't suggest going to Geneva area to party although the mountains and lakes nearby more than make up for it

AI don't know if there is any in Switzerland but I found a website that has Athletic Discuses you can buy,, but most are expensive.http://shoppingsearch.bizrate.com/discus-athletic-sweatshirt/?sc=1
